Narrative

from MIT file

'

On January 4, 2010 at approximately 10:30 hours I responded to MIT building 16, room 004T for a report of a past break. This room is a telephone closet and networki ng closet; it's access is controlled by MIT's IS&T Department. MIT IS&T explained to me that someone had entered the I of restricted room and connected a laptop and external hard drive directly to a networking switch. The laptop and external hard drive were being hidden under

were able to determine | further explained that they that this laptop was illegally downloading scientific periodicals from JStor, a subscription based database that houses academic periodicals Cambridge Police Detective Joseph Murphy, Special Agent Michael Pickett from the United States Secret Service and Boston Police Officer Tim Laham responded to building 16 room 004T. Cambridge Police's Crime Scene Services also responded and processed the laptop and external hard drive for latent prints. It was determined that the laptop would be left in place and IS&T would monitor the network traffic in an attempt to identify the suspect. A camera was also installed by MIT's IS&T Department to monitor the area. On January 4, 2010 at approximately 15:26 hours a white male, dark or black wearing a dark coat, gray backpack, jeans with a shoulder length wavy hair, white bicycle helmet enters the room. It appears as thought the suspect takes a hard drive out of his back pack and bends over the laptop and external hard drive. He exits the room moments later. On January 5, 2010 MIT's IS&T Department informed me that approximately 70 gigabytes of data had been downloaded, 98% of which was from JStor. SA Mike Pickett had informed me that MIT's IS&T had put an approximate value on the dowloaded information at $50,000. On January 6, 2010 at approximately 12:32 hours a white male, dark or black wearing a dark coat, gray backpack, jeans with a shoulder length wavy hair, white bicycle helmet enters the room, I was monitoring the video feed at the MIT Police Department at this time. It appears as thought the suspect packed up the laptop and hard drive and exited the room. MIT Police units responsed to the area and searched for the suspect. A check of the room determined that the laptop and hard drive had been removed. On January 6, 2010 at approximately 14:11 hours Captain Albert Pierce of the MIT Police Department called me and stated he had located the suspect riding his bike on Massachusetts Ave at Lee Street. Special Agent Pickett and I responded to the Lee Street to assist Captain Pierce. The suspect jumped off his bike when encountered by Captain Pierce and ran down Lee Street. Captain Pierce and Special Agent Pickett were able to apprehend the suspect at 24 Lee Street. He was handcuffed by SA Pickett. The suspect encountered by Captain Pierce and apprehended on Lee Street is the same person seen on video entering the restricted telephone closet in building 16 on January 4th at 15:26 hours and on January 6th at 14:11 hours. He was arrested for two counts of Breaking and Entering in the daytime with the intent to commit a felony, Chapter 266 Section 18.
